You can press the F8 key instead of the Start key + click on the icon, to detach from the player controller

Thanks for the tutorial! Some of my Level had realy bad performance and I never knew how to fix it. Thanks for this great tutorial!

Important note on purpose of level streaming: Level streaming is primarily used to address memory management, not optimize GPU-related render performance. UE5 automatically culls objects by occlusion and camera frustum culling by default, meaning unseen objects aren't called in the draw call. You'd want to use level streaming to load/unload objects from memory, to prevent burdensome memory loads.

@Gastrostomi 20 дней назад

And to add to the annoyances of memory management. As far as I am aware, if you have a desk in one streamed level and the same desk in an other streamed level it will count two times in memory if both levels are loaded. As it is unable to reference objects already in memory. So it adds an extra level of things to be aware of if you want to optimize your game even further. So it is better to have objects appearing in multiple close streamed levels in its own level. But going so far in your optimizations is not really necessary nowadays unless you really want to run your game on a potato PC.

@clumpfandango 16 дней назад

Does this mean level streaming is more useful for unloading things like blueprints that have logic running on them or AI opposed to things like a static mesh?

@Gastrostomi 16 дней назад

I would say it is an balancing act. And it heavily depends on what your blueprint is doing. If the BP is running on tick it would probably be better to unload it when it is no longer in visual/usable range.

@touchpadplayer 14 дней назад

btw, you can also use Level Streaming Volumes which are better in some cases

@marci1270 16 дней назад

Level Streaming also needs a working and fully savesystem else you reset the unloaded level every time. A save system is the hard part. You also dont need to write logic for streaming levels, you can just use level streaming volumes.

@blad3sashab Месяц назад

Ok this is really great tutorial, I assume if I do this on my current existing project it should improved performance by huge? Since my levels are huge also. Thanks

@soulsalivedev9793 Месяц назад

The gain would be in loading the level since you won't be rendering occluded meshes anyway. With less objets loaded into memory, your level will load much faster. Also, if you notice any hiccups when loading big chunks of levels, beware that this only happens when playing in editor, when you play on a proper build, this won't happen (this is an async load, that is not supported in editor). You also have to keep in mind to leave meshes if you are gonna haver AI roaming around, and I find that having lights inside levels that are not persistent sometimes give me errors when building lightmaps.

level loading more commonly known as culling

This is a good idea but why u not use Distance Culling and make a tutorial about it?

@DangPan_ 28 дней назад

So So Thanyou

@DeviantPicturess Месяц назад

Isn't that the same thing as Occlussion culling but manual?

@shadfakher2383 22 дня назад

@TimBorggrenDenmark 8 дней назад

will this system have an impact on multiplayer?

@MaxHorror Месяц назад

Isn’t it easier/same doing the distance culling volume?or what its called?

@kevinhowlett7126 27 дней назад

Distance culling just omits objects from the rendering pass, however, they're still loaded into memory. The purpose of level streaming is for memory management, not improving GPU-related rendering performance. UE5 already has default occlusion culling which automatically addresses culling, and you'd want to use LODs or nanite to optimize by distance.

@comebackguy8892 Месяц назад

Do the different trace channels still work through the "different" levels. Can the player use trace by object if the object is in the other level?

Interesting but you need to fix your word salad. Soooo many annoying filler phrases

@Cloroqx Месяц назад

Please stop using Level Streaming. Epic has dropped support for it. World Partition is the way forward, so get on the bandwagon.

@Alpha_GameDev-wq5cc Месяц назад

Do you have a source? I’d like to read more on this

@lz4090 Месяц назад

I initially thought of it but if you have a level that is small, with windows seeing other rooms and multifloors, how would you control specific areas, or lets say upper floor or lower floors?

@fidel_soto Месяц назад

@@lz4090 that's a pretty good question. Does world partition support verticality?

@Cloroqx Месяц назад

@@fidel_soto It does with the 3D grid. You can use Data Layers to load/unload your assets if you need granular control, or even dynamically tweak WP's streaming distance based on some triggers placed in the world. Hlods fill in the space outside of your streaming distance by merging meshes together in an offline process.

@Cloroqx Месяц назад

@@lz4090 For your use case specifically, Epic recommends having a persistent world level and using data layers and level instances inside of it. World Partition can load assets from inside both of those sources into the persistent level.
